The Haunted is a fast paced thirdperson horror-action game with focus on a intense multiplayer experience that is all about making a stand and liberating cursed places from the minions of evil. The game features several multiplayer modes such as coop or demons .vs. humans where enemies are spawned and controlled by players. The outstanding visuals lay a perfect tone for the gameplay.

Playing as human is action focused survival gameplay with a huge arsenal of weapons and melee attacks in the vein of Resident Evil, but with total freedom in movement and more intense, direct combat.

Undead humanoid monsters come in many variations and approach from everywhere to give you the feeling of a real fight for your life. There is no place to hide, together or alone. In addition to that, watch out for dangerous traps and environmental hazards.

Some multiplayer modes can have players taking control of vicious demon masters. Here you can spawn monsters and play them by yourself, or place traps and trigger the environmental hazards to create a unpredictable threat for the humans.

The locations feature an almost mystical atmosphere, provided by awesome graphics and effects. Damage is shown on the characters with blood splatter, dirt and scars along with post processing effects and physical hit animations.

Solo Mode: The singleplayer mode pits one human against the forces of evil.

Coop Mode: Up to 4 human players have to make a stand against the undead.
Send as much as possible back to hell and redeem the souls of fallen comrades.

Battle Mode: 4 Human players against 4 demons.

Demonizer: Similar to coop, but each dead human will turn into a demon until no one is left.

The Haunted was developed by a international team and is currently on it's way to become a full standalone download title.

The devs struck a publiching deal with THQ and are releasing this game in October for the PC, maybe later for the PS3, Xbawks 6.28318531 radians.

They also updated their dead, and rotting website, more info up now, including suggested price and preorders. 19.99$ and available on steam, hopefully THEY ADJUST THE PRICE CORRECTLY and I just might buy my second game on steam - the first was UT3 to play The Haunted ^_^www.hells-reach.com

awhile back, before my copy of UT3 needed to be reinstalled, i had gotten one of the versions of this. It was epic, and now, i have reinstalled UT3 just for this mod, and maybe a couple others but still.

@lawlsome I think both games are the same, Killing Floor is a great game, but this mod turned into a game would be just as epic. Both games have good gameplay. And yes, i would be willing to pay for this as well

I dont get it, this is one of the best mod I've played for a game (HL2 mods, UT3 mods etc), awesome graphics and actions and settings. But why no one plays...? I occasionally see like 1 or 2 players on the server, but there are just not enough people :(
